Hydrangea House Inn

About The Hotel

The Hydrangea House Inn is an adults-only sanctuary on prestigious Bellevue Avenue, perfectly positioned between downtown Thames Street and the mansion district. This 4.8-rated boutique inn features spacious suites with fireplaces and in-room jacuzzi tubs (some with steam showers), ideal for romantic soaks with a view of the flames. The lavish buffet breakfast—different each day—and special-diet accommodations are highlights. Guests rave about the art-filled, sophisticated decor, the afternoon wine-and-charcuterie service, and the peaceful, adults-oriented atmosphere. The Bellevue Avenue location is unbeatable for mansion-district access while remaining a short walk from downtown shops and restaurants. Free on-site parking is a bonus.

What Guests Are Saying

“We spent four nights in the Oak Suite just before Christmas. A memorable stay in all respects. The room was very large with a canopied king bed. Each breakfast was different and delicious. The staff could not have been more helpful. Highly recommended.” — Francis C., 5 stars

“Stayed for 2 nights for a wedding. We stayed in the little red room, it was the only room available, and we were advised it was small, but found it to be fine and larger than some hotel rooms we have had. The B&B is in a great location, the rooms were clean and quiet and the bed was comfortable. Wine and charcuterie plates were set out each afternoon, and freshly prepared breakfast in the dining room each morning was wonderful. The B&B had a rooftop deck and covered porch for relaxing. Parking available behind the inn. Kim the property manager was very kind, professional and courteous. Lovely B&B.” — Rebecca R., 5 stars

“Everything about Hydrangea House more than met all of our expectations. Friendly and helpful staff. (Thanks, Kim!) Excellent breakfast. Afternoon charcuterie board and wine. Evening chocolate chip cookies. Free on-site parking. Easy walking distance to virtually everything in the downtown area and right across the street from the free trolley stop. Great room (Winter Garden Suite). My wife and I couldn’t have had a more positive experience. As soon as we arrived home we checked with our dog caretaker, looked at availability for the Winter Garden Suite and booked another stay for September. We can’t wait to return!” — Robert K., 5 stars
